Got another phone - 6233, was 6230i. Installed development version and got "Out of memory error java/lang/outofmemoryerror". It starts up, asks for web access, no matter what I choose next is error.
To test this I deleted dev version and put in latest stable (1.39.13). It also gives error but only if I choose to allow access to web, and let it to start displaying and downloading maps, if I choose no, then it seems to be working. Both ways in stable version it starts application completely form user point of view, in dev version "workspace" is not shown.
FYI This 6233 has fresh firmware, updated with NSU this morning. No adittional memory, phone memory is not that full.
Also, seems to be this error, covered in this thread:
http://forum.mgmaps.com/viewtopic.php?t=1658

BTW Stable version was good on my old phone; didn`t tested latest dev version in it, 1.40.00 AFAIR was good!

You should enable low memory mode in Settings/Map Browsing. The heap memory (RAM) was kept by Nokia at 2MB on all Series 40 phones... old phones worked better because they had smaller screens.

I get the same Problem with 1.41.00 on my Nokia 6288 Firmware V6.10._________________Always testing the lastest MGMaps on a Nokia E51, with GW-GPS-005 (XC4895 from jaycar quite good) OR MSI SF100 (Old Chipset)

I got it running by replacing the RMS files from a previous version I have loaded.

Which means that low Memory and offline mode were enabled.

I like the new Menu..
but may I sugggest that you include Numbers on the sub menus (not as good)OR line the sub menu's up with the top of the first menu, then you have the first numbers lined up, it will make the by-number navigation easier.

I have not seen the Zoom Levels feature work. I have Tried, Even, Odd and Every Second Level (I don't understand this option v's the previous two) and restarted the mgm in between just in case.

Right... Was it not possible to start it and disallow internet access (local file storage access), and then enable low memory? Actually the new version should have automatically read the old RMS and enable low memory, so I don't know what happened.

OK, I'll consider that. I tried to include numbers in the submenus but it didn't look so good... Having the menus ligned up is good only if the main menu is the "longest", and doesn't work with menu scrolling (if the menu doesn't fit the whole screen). Anyway, you can navigate the menus using the arrow keys and it's still pretty fast compared to the old method.

No, you don't need to remove those maps, you also don't need to restart. Have you tried to zoom in and out with the zoom levels enabled? Does it not zoom quicklier?

The "every second level" option zooms only odd levels or only even levels, depending on the starting zoom level. It's what you would use in most cases in order to zoom in/out quickly. The even/odd options are useful if you download only odd or only even zoom levels to reduce offline maps size. If you enable even zoom levels and you manually set the level to an odd number (or maybe a search brings you to that, etc.), the first zoom will bring you to an even level (it will be a single zoom) and the following zooms will only show even levels.

in my case, for my phone it`s fresh install so no old files to read from... should i install older version and try to set low mem mode and then upgrade?

On my Nokia 6288, the Java apps can be loaded from my miniSD card and to install them, it is as simple as puting the Jad & Jar file anywhere on the file system. To run them, browse to the folder on the miniSD card and open. This allows me to put every version of MGM on my phone without any conflict between them, including in the same folder if I gave them a unique name. The RMS files are created using the jar filename and extends on them.

This means that the first "RUN" was equivilent to a fresh install. It prompted me for Network access "responce No" then it crashed with OutOfMemoryError. This is with Default security of the phone, I have just tested with Disable everything (memory card & Internet), still OutOfMemoryError.

on my Nokia 6230 with an older version of MGM the main menu showed up full (0-9) on the screen without scrolling, with map shown above and the screen size is quite small.

I didn't realise this this was just to skip zoom levels entirely.

I assumed that say from Zoom 15 with the Odd option, you can see effectivly zoom 14 by showing zoom 15 maps at 50% which should be easy to compute because you only need to throw away every second pixel. (unless I am wrong in assuming that each zoom level is 50% / 200% of each other.)

Maybe to Expand on the Zoom level skiping, instead of odd even and every second, how about a menu to select which zoom levels to skip with check boxes. because for where I live most places are prefect with zoom 15 but in the city centre it is more dense and I need Zoom 16 but Zoom 17 would take up too much room on my phone.

Right now I do not know how to get MGM to tell me what zoom level am I at. With earlier version I could press the add favourite and the zoom was displayed there but that feature was removed. If you could place the zoom number at the bottom of the screen in the center when zooming that would helpful for me.

Right... but I guess you can keep the old settings if you just overwrite the application with a newer version. It's strange though that it crashed even without enabling internet, don't know why. I hate that nokia put so little RAM/heap memory (and so badly managed) on S40 phones...

ok, I'll consider something like that (expand maps for missing zooms) for future versions. Though that may need even more memory.

Maybe its possible that app works in low memory mode at very beginnig when installed, because I cant normaly update or install app only way is to install 1.39, set everything, then update... its awful, and if you move app around folders, update cant see older app and you are fcked again...

Well, the solution for sbring was to select the stored maps folder again -- when he downgraded from v1.41 to v1.39 the settings were lost and the stored maps folder was reset to the default, which was not correct for his setup.

As for out-of-memory errors, they occur on some Nokia S40 phones with 240x320 screens where 2MB of heap memory is too little to display and cache the maps for a single screen. The only solution is low memory mode -- it doesn't always work but it's better than nothing. Future plans include better support for these S40 phones. If you want to enable it, start MGMaps first without allowing it to connect to the internet or to use stored maps, enable low memory mode, then restart mgmaps.

That's not possible in general for most phones. For S40 phones, the RMS is stored together with the application in some files with the name including some unprintable characters, and .rms extension. For instance, I have three .rms files for mgmaps on my nokia 6233 (memory card), they are named:
